A 33-year-old man, Segun Ogunlusi, has confessed to killing his mother, Abimbola Ogunlusi, because she consistently demanded sex from him.
The suspect, who allegedly committed the crime on December 13, was paraded at the Ogun State Police Command headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta, on Tuesday by the state Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu.
Also paraded were 23 other suspects who were held for alleged robbery, stealing, cultism, and kidnapping.
Ogunlusi reportedly killed his 60-year-old mother and dumped her corpse in a soak away on Oketunde Street, Molatori, Ogijo, in the Sagamu Local Government Area of the state.
“I killed my mother because she had been demanding sex persistently from me,” he said.
“She said if I had sex with her, I would be free. On a particular Tuesday, two of us were at home; she was in the kitchen when I walked up to her, stabbed her in the stomach and she died.
“I poured kerosene on her corpse in a bid to burn her, but the corpse did not burn. Later, I dumped the corpse in a soak away.”
He, however, said he regretted his action.
“I regret everything I did,” he said.
